Abstract
Tarbox, Szabo, and Aclan (Behavior Analysis in Practice, 1-22, 2020) provide a compelling rationale for the inclusion of Acceptance and Commitment Training (ACTraining) within the scope of behavior analytic practice to address experiential avoidance in clients and parents. We agree with the main tenets of the authors’ argument, and suggest that ACTraining may be particularly beneficial if applied with frontline staff in behavior analytic service settings. We provide a brief overview on the precedent for ACT in the workplace, but conclude by underscoring the need for considerable curricular development in graduate training programs so that behavior analysts can implement ACT with integrity.
